How CertainTeed Products Fail – and How We Fix Them

CertainTeed makes good shingles. But every roof in Los Angeles eventually shows wear, and CertainTeed products have their own patterns. Here’s what we actually see on LA rooftops, and what we do about it.

• Landmark shingle granule loss on south-facing slopes. CertainTeed Landmark architectural shingles dominate LA roofs, and their biggest issue here is what we call LA sun burn. South-facing slopes in neighborhoods like Studio City and Mid-City bake in direct sun 300-plus days a year. The asphalt layer degrades, granules slough off, and you see bare patches at the shingle edges. We replace the affected shingles with correct-match Landmark stock and often recommend a roof inspection of the entire slope, because if one section has lost its granules, the neighbors are usually close behind.
• Presidential Shake seal failure at the butt joints. CertainTeed Presidential Shake is a premium line we see on older hillside homes in Los Feliz and Eagle Rock. Its laminated construction creates a thick profile, but over time the adhesive strips can fail, and wind gets under the shingle tabs. The shingle lifts, water channels underneath, and you get a slow leak that only shows up during heavy rain. Our fix is re-sealing with a compatible asphalt adhesive, not a generic caulk, and replacing any shingles that have curled beyond re-sealing.
• Highland Slate damage from foot traffic and Santa Ana winds. Highland Slate looks sharp but its fiberglass mat is stiffer than standard architectural lines. When Santa Ana winds hit 50 or 60 mph, branches and debris can crack the shingle face. And because LA hillside homes often have roof-mounted AC units or satellite dishes, we see technician foot traffic cracking the slate texture. We replace cracked Highland Slate shingles one for one, matching the color blend to the existing roof.
• Vent pipe boot rubber cracking on CertainTeed roofs of any type. This isn’t unique to CertainTeed, but it’s the single most common repair we do on CertainTeed roofs in Los Angeles. The rubber boot around plumbing vents dries out in our hot, dry summers and cracks. Water follows the pipe down into the attic. We swap the old boot with a quality aftermarket replacement that matches the pipe diameter, and we check the adjacent shingles for water staining before sealing everything up.
• Flashing failures where CertainTeed valleys meet stucco or tile transitions. LA architecture loves mixed materials: a shingle roof section meeting a clay tile patio cover, or a composition roof butting against a stucco wall. Those transitions get flashed with metal, and in the earthquake-prone LA basin, differential settling cracks sealant and shifts flashing out of place. We re-flash the transition with the right metal thickness, correct the pitch so water moves away from the wall, and seal it with a polyurethane sealant that holds up under LA heat better than asphalt-based caulk.

Our CertainTeed Roof Repair Process

Every CertainTeed job follows the same sequence. It’s not glamorous, but it’s what keeps repairs from turning into re-roofs.

1. 1
   You call (213) 521-8272. A real person answers. We ask what you’re seeing and schedule a visit. Before our technician arrives, you’ll get their name and photo by text.
2. 2
   We inspect the roof. We walk the affected area, check the attic underneath if there’s a leak, and identify the exact failure point. We’ll tell you what we see in plain English, not trade talk.
3. 3
   You get a written price. Before any tool comes off the van, you have a line-item quote showing what we’re replacing and what it costs. No surprises, no change orders.
4. 4
   We decide on parts together. For CertainTeed roofs, we recommend OEM shingles when color-matching matters and the line is still actively manufactured. For discontinued colors or boot replacements, we’ll use quality aftermarket parts and tell you why.
5. 5
   We do the repair. The technician who showed up with a photo ID badge does the work. They clean up, haul away old material, and test the repair.
6. 6
   You get the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If the repair fails within a year, we come back and make it right. Free second visit. That’s not a perk, it’s the guarantee that comes with every job.
